Job description:
Locus Analytics, a think-tank based in New York City, develops proprietary classification tools to study and characterize economic systems. Founded by veteran entrepreneur Rory Riggs, Locus has developed a systems-based functional model that revolutionizes the ways in which we explain and compare the complex entities and interactions that comprise the global economy. We employ this model in a broad base of applications, ranging from economic development to investment analysis. Our goal is to transform the ways that businesses, governments, and entrepreneurs interact with one another to build enterprises, communities, and cities.One of the ways that we utilize the model of economic systems is company classification. Our Classification Project applies the Locus model to classifying companies by codifying their functional roles within the economy. It is an ongoing project, contributing to a body of work that lies at the foundation of Locus and its applications. We are eager to continue building out the Locus database of global companies and are seeking highly motivated individuals to join our two-year analyst program.The analyst program will begin with a comprehensive training in the Locus model and classification system, followed by an introduction to basic financial analysis. Analysts will be working on the Classification Project where they will collaborate as part of a small, dynamic team that is researching and characterizing the functional roles of the largest publicly-traded companies around the world. Through the time spent in research and classification, analysts will gain exposure to all major global industries, while acquiring a deep understanding of the Locus system. Analysts may also have the opportunity to contribute towards other project areas at Locus.To fill the analyst role, Locus is seeking intellectually curious individuals who excel in fast-paced, innovative environments, and who value the opportunity to learn about thousands of global companies. No finance or economics background is necessary, but strong research skills are preferred. Candidates should simply have a profound interest in understanding the global economy, and all other necessary training will be provided.  We are currently seeking full-time candidates for an early November start date. To apply, please send your resume and a cover letter describing one or two of your passions, intellectual or otherwise.We invite you to visit our website at #URL_aae9bad47f8f41b141063c6de9d69e3ec0575362ebdb7369a2ca3334decdae08# to learn more about Locus Analytics.
